TECHNICAL APPENDIX available only in models UE090...UE130 . 14.1 Operating principle Proportional control with limit probe (see Figs. 14.1 and Immersed electrode humidifi ers produce steam by boiling the water 14.3) contained inside the cylinder. The heat required to boil the water is produced See “proportional control”, with the addition of a limit probe, generally by passing an electrical current through the water in the cylinder.
If this mode is activated, if the probe limit is disconnected, (alarm E4) steam Overriding the conductivity of the supply water production will continue according to read only the main probe. In conditions where the supply water has relatively low conductivity, a higher conductivity value can be set (installer menu >...
